Blooming Family Tree

Home, it's not just a house but it can be something else! For example, a lush green summer tree or a blooming cherry blossom tree in the spring. Some of the moist leaves or petals eventually become dry and fall off, don’t worry! They'll grow back someday. Home is like a tiny cottage; we don’t always have the big stuff. But we are happy with what we have! Home can be like a firework, many surprises like a birthday party, new baby brother/sister/cousin, a surprise trip! But... Sometimes my family isn’t that perfect, kind of like a fragile vase that's a little cracked and chipped piece to me because I get into a lot of arguments, and I cry at downhill times sometimes. But people like my friends and family are there for me, they tell me their wise words to cheer me up! But not always if they're busy heh... And there's time where the lush or the moist, kelly green leaves or the baby pink blossoms are dry and fall off. My mom's father passed away when she came to Eritrea for some time, not everyone can live forever because the petals/leaves eventually fall off... Life is fragile, don't hate yourself, don't underestimate about how you look because your loved ones are around you.
